Chapter 104 The n To Have Babies
Rachel didn''t look in the direction of the door. She cast a glimpse at Shirley.
Shirley dropped the fruit she had just picked up back onto the te. She tidied her hair up hurriedly and
stood up. Her eyes...... were bright with obvious and vehement love and were fixed on Hiram who was
entering the house.
Rachel took a sip of tea before turning her head to look at Hiram who wasing towards her.
From the moment Hiram had stepped into the house, his eyes were caught by Rachel who seemed not
to be very happy to see him.
He saw Rachel in a gorgeous beige floral print frock with a hemline just above the knee. Her fair and
slim shanks were exposed. The high-heeled shoes she wore made her look so sexy.
Especially......
The eyes she turned towards him reproachfully.
Hiram felt excitement surging inside him when Rachel looked at him. He wanted to hold her in his arms
and listen to her grievance.
"Mom! Aunts! Good evening!" Hiram walked towards the seniors with a deliberate step. He apologized
politely, "Sorry. There was an emergency at office that only I could handle, so I''mte."
"Amy, start to serve the dishes!" Hiram said to the house maid behind him.
"Hiram, I know you are busy, so I didn''t want to ask you toe over. But the dinner today is different!"
Hiram''s eldest aunt said, ncing at Rachel standing at the other side of the room.
Joanna also stood up. She said to her twin sister, "All right. Let''s go to the dining room to have dinner."
When the seniors left and walked towards the dining room, the young people circled Hiram.
"Hiram, your schedule is so busy. We have to wait for you to introduce your wife!" Susan bantered with
Hiram with a smile.
"Susan, how could you say that? Hiram is busy. So it doesn''t matter that the introductioneste.
It''s not a big deal, " Shirley said and said to Hiram with a big smile, "Hiram, you must be exhausted!
Get ready for the dinner then!"
Hiram slightly furrowed his eyebrows. He smiled with resignation, ''Rachel must have been teased with
the same words before I came.''
There were plenty of rtives in the Rong family. It was inevitable that some of them would disagree
with Hiram and his family and say something unkind. But they were rtives after all, so Hiram
wouldn''t create a scene with them.
"Shirley, you and others do go to the dining room first. I willeter." After saying that, Hiram looked
at Rachel who was standing aside cracking melon seeds.
"We are going to the dining room now!" Miranda held her two sisters by their hands and walked
towards the dining table.
Rachel didn''t want to stand up, but the seniors and the young people all stood up. She would be
embarrassed if she still sat there. So she stood up to greet Hiram.
Rachel saw that the three girls were gone. She dropped the melon seeds, pped her hands together
to dust off the residue and turned to go to the dining table.
But as she stepped forward, her hand was gripped by Hiram.
He took her into the storeroom nearby.
"What happened? Did you face any unkindness?" Hiram pulled Rachel into the storeroom and closed
the door. Then he wrapped his arms around her and asked in a gentle voice.
He raised his hand to flick a wisp of curly hair behind her ear. Then he lowered his head to look at
Rachel.
It was said that three women together could perform a y. Friction couldn''t be avoided when women

were together.
"Mr. Rong, if there is a situation like that in the future, could you inform me ahead of time? This is your
''just visit my mom'' thing?" Rachel looked up and red at Hiram. He hadn''t informed her of this feast
before, so she was not prepared at all.
"Yes, I will let you know in advance next time. Today''s feast is my mom''s impromptu decision. I didn''t
get the notice until today like you." Hiram exined. Then he asked, "Did Shirley find fault with you?"
Rachel curved her lips and said, "Yes, she did. But I put her in her ce. Hiram, if you are not afraid
that I will throw your home in turmoil, I won''t mind attending more family feasts like that with you!"
That was the first time she had met Shirley. So she made a concession.
If Shirley hit out at her again, she wouldn''t be as polite as she had been this time.
"That''s good. Nothing matters to me as long as you are not at a disadvantage. You should keep the
spirit you have today. I don''t want to see that my wife is a doormat." Hiram didn''t me Rachel for what
she had done, but praised the spirit she had disyed. He lowered his head in an attempt to kiss
Rachel, but she turned her head and dodged the kiss.
Rachel stepped back and left some space between them, "Hiram, don''t forget that we are divorced......"
After saying that, Rachel turned back, opened the door and walked out.
Hiram was left there alone. He heaved a long sigh and walked out after a moment.
Due to the presence of the seniors, the youngsters didn''t dare to be too vocal during the dinner.
Besides, Hiram was there too. So the dinner went off quite smoothly.
Hiram and Rachel sat next to each other. Hiram served food to Rachel from time to time. He satisfied
all of her requests and never left them to be carried out by the servants.
How Hiram took care of Rachel surprised the seniors present.
They didn''t know that Hiram, who was well-known in the business circle and always kept his distance
from women, loved and indulged his wife so much.
Shirley kept staring at Hiram and Rachel regardless of the pain in her heart. She ate the food without
even tasting it. What Hiram did for Rachel was undoubtedly refuting what she had said.
"Hiram, since you and Rachel love each other so much, hold the wedding ceremony quickly! Or are
you nning to have a baby before holding the ceremony?" Watching the sweet love between Hiram
and Rachel, Susan said with envy.
Hiram''s second aunt Terrisa agreed with Susan and said, "Hiram, I''m with Susan. Though you have the
marriage certificate, the tradition in our country is that a couple are not husband and wife officially until
they hold the wedding ceremony. Why not decide on an auspicious day for the wedding ceremony
quickly?"
"Auntie, isn''t it too early for Hiram to be married now?" Shirley couldn''t bear hearing it any longer and
interrupted.
"It''s just the right time. Miranda''s son is already two years old. Miranda is just one year older than
Hiram. What''s more important is that Rachel is at the best age to have babies now!" Susan disagreed
with Shirley.
Joanna looked sweepingly at everyone and said with a smile, "Hiram, that''s exactly what''s on my mind
too. What do you and Rachel think about it?"
Joanna directed this discussion towards Hiram and Rachel.
Hiram put down the chopsticks and looked at Rachel. He replied in a mellow voice, "My mother-inw
has not recoveredpletely. So I intend to hold the wedding ceremony at the end of this year.
We will only hold the wedding ceremony once. So I want that my mother-inw can be present there in
good health. What do you say about it, Rachel?"
Rachel took out a tissue and wiped the corner of her mouth. She nodded slightly and agreed with
Hiram, "I''m with Hiram, mom. That''s also what I think."
Hearing that, Joanna nodded her head and said, "You are right. Then it''s settled. The wedding
ceremony will be held at the end of the year. I will give you people a notice when the final date is
decided."
Susan asked jokingly, "But, Hiram, what if Rachel gets pregnant before the wedding ceremony? Will it
be held as nned?"
Rachel choked when she heard what Susan was asking. Hiram quickly passed a cup of water to her.
He said, "It doesn''t matter. As long as Rachel doesn''t get too tired from the preparation for the
ceremony, I don''t think that will be a problem."
Nowadays, holding the wedding ceremony while carrying a babe was not strange news. Hiram didn''t
think it mattered to him.
The wedding ceremony was nothing but a ritual.
"Susan, you are so frank by nature with a ready tongue! If Rachel gives birth to a baby, no matter
whether it''s a boy or a girl, I will go to the temple of XH Vige to pay my sincere respect and gratitude
to God."
When Joanna heard the discussion about her future grandchildren, she couldn''t hold back the pleasure
and smiled.
Hiram was her only child. So she had always been expecting that Hiram would give her some
grandchildren. Then she would have the happiness of being with them.
Rachel kept her head down. Joanna wanted her to give birth to a baby for the Rong family.
Hiram sped Rachel''s hand under the table and whispered a word in Rachel''s ear.
A blush flooded Rachel''s cheeks when she heard what Hiram said to her.
